iniBuilds T-33 Jet Trainer Released
- Thread starter noddy
- Start date
Canadair T-Bird 21452, 2 Flying Training School, CFB Gimli, Manitoba, circa late 1960s. Day-Glo orange anti-collision markings, asymmetrical bilingual CAF titles and blue Gimli diamond marking on fin. This particular aircraft still flies today, as one of the Ace Maker jets.
European-based T-33s attached to the four Canadian fighter bases were used for general transport duties, target towing, and instrument flight training and testing. Most of them carried tail art (usually flightless birds) identifying which base the aircraft was assigned to. 4 Wing, Baden-Soellingen used the penguin for a few years.
Sad photo of two NATO RCAF T-33s who met the scrapper's cutting torch, probably with Scottish Aviation at Prestwick. Pictured are the 4 Wing penguin tail art, and the 2 Wing (Grostenquin, France) Snoopy tail art, circa early 1960s.

Another Day-Glo orange trainer, included this one to showcase the interim "small leaf" markings during the switchover from RCAF to CAF roundels. Compare these roundels to the official CAF ones in the liveries above.
T-Bird 21623 of No. 2 Canadian Forces Flying Training School (2 CFFTS), CFB Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, late 1960s.

I was fortunate enough to get a ride in the backseat of The Red Knight in 2004 when it made an appearance at Aviation Nation Nellis AFB. Rolls Royce was one of the sponsors at the show and I was the representative of a big customer and RR arranged for a backseat ride from Nellis to North Las Vegas Airport by way of 30 minutes in a practice area north of the airports. It was thrilling, but those Air Force guys have really long runways.

You can't have too much runway in front of you or too much altitude below you.
Jocko - I'm now going to have to spend money and I'm blaming it on you!
These repaints for the T-33 are superb. A big thank you for all your work - well done!
Thanks Paul, I think I’ve included examples of all the major markings changes over the T-33’s years of RCAF service. I may try an RCAF/NATO camo scheme from the late fifties but it’ll take some juggling between the decal files and texture files. Even then there will have to be some liberties taken due to the horizontal stab being mirrored with no decal files available for it.
I’ll also be moving to my “requests list” now, which includes T-33s from other countries as well as some more day-glo paint
